IN THE SPOTLIGHT!

Sabrina DoenbargerSay hello to one of our newest instructors. Sabrina began working at Ollie Webb Center in July

2014. She loves working with students and seeing lights go on when they comprehend clasmaterial. Teaching students keeps Sabrina on her toes and makes a difficult day better just by

a students smile. Sabrina also likes her co-workers.

A friend once told Sabrina, If you like getting up and going to work, then it is not a job. This is

exactly how she feels about the Ollie Webb Center. She feels as if she is leaving one family andjoining another and that makes Sabrina feel great about the work she does. Her ultimate goa

is to make a difference in each students life.

On a personal note, Sabrina has been married to her husband Keith for 24 years. They have

four children: Holly, Sarah, Patrick and Casey and live in Plattsmouth. In her spare time, Sabrinastays busy taking her children to extra-curricular activities, walking, cooking and reading. She

is also active in her church choir and worship committee. Sabrina completed her Bachelor

Degree in Human Resource Management in June 2014 and is currently working on her Masters

with an estimated May 2016 graduation.

For the Winter/Spring session, Sabrina is teaching: Introduction to Communication, StressManagement, Cooking-Level 1, Healthy Relationships and Culinary Hospitality.
